When and upgrade is actually a downgrade

Okay so I’m all for progress and don’t get me wrong I’m not one of these people against change. I’m debating whether to upgrade to Tiger now or wait until I have bought a mini to justify it. I think my cube will need to be relegated to a server for the flat.
So anyway back to my point. I’ve been getting the upgrade to Quicktime 7 messages all week so finally did last night and hey presto no discernable difference. Oh no wait. Loads of features that used to work in 6.x no longer work in 7. How is that an upgrade? No more opening more than one movie. No more full screen. That is not an upgrade in my book. That’s a downgrade. Loss of functionality is never a good thing.

Mac OS X File Sharing

Open NetInfo Manager and authenticate.

Create a new subdirectory in /config/SharePoints/ (click on config, then on SharePoints, then select Directory -> New Subdirectory).

Set the name value to be what you’d like the share to be called (double-click on the Value column next to name).

Add a new property (Directory -> New Properyt) and name it directory_path.

Add a new value for directory_path. The value needs to be the path of the folder or volume (for example, /Users/username/Pictures).

name -NetInfo name
directory_path -Path to directory
afp_use_parent_owner -Boolean: Use owner of parent?
afp_use_parent_privs -Boolean: Use privileges of parent?
afp_shared -Boolean: Share this item?
afp_name -Name visble to clients

Save your changes in NetInfo.

In the Finder, set the privileges on the folder or volume you’ll be sharing. Do Show Info, then Privileges, and pick what you like — Drop Box, Read Only, etc.

Stop and restart the AFP Server from the Sharing preferences panel.

Connect from a client and they will see the new share.
